Twenty players will make more individually in 2013 than the entire Astros team combined

Four Philadelphia Phillies will make more money in 2013 than the entire Houston Astros team. So will three New York Yankees, three Los Angeles Dodgers, three Detroit Tigers and three San Francisco Giants.

If you subtract the $5 million Houston is paying Wandy Rodriguez — who, as Jeff Passan notes, is the team's highest-paid player this season and just happens to be a Pittsburgh Pirate (oops!) — then the actual Astros roster will be paid less than $20 million. Barring any last-minute moves, of course.

You might see $20 million and think, "C'mon, A-Rod and his bad hip make more than that in a year." And they do. Worth-every-penny guys like Miguel Cabrera, Felix Hernandez and Matt Kemp do too. The former Cy Young winner turned bullpen guy in San Francisco and the odd-man-out outfielder in an Angels uniform? Their checks are also fatter than all the Astros.

Here's the full list, but we should note: exact salaries are hard to come by. We used the numbers from Baseball Prospectus and included signing bonuses that are spread out over the life of a contract. These numbers could swell further with performance bonuses.
